Journey to the West: Demon Emperor: Beginning as a Little Toad

Chapter 18: Battle of Black Pine Ridge

Hearing the three words "Donghuang Bell", Xiao Chen was very shocked.

The Donghuang Bell, also known as the Chaos Bell, is a sacred object of the demon clan and the ruler of the ancient heaven. It is the proof of the truth of the demon emperor Donghuang Taiyi. Its power is enough to destroy the world and devour the heavens. It is one of the most powerful magic weapons in the prehistoric times!

According to legend, in the war between wizards and liches, Donghuang Taiyi held the Donghuang Bell and fought against the eight ancestor wizards alone, and finally died together with the ancestor wizard Xuanming.

The whereabouts of the Donghuang Bell has been unknown since then.

Now it seems that the Donghuang Bell was broken in that unprecedented war, or a few corners were knocked off, and the fragments separated from the body and evolved on their own, and scattered around the world.

……

On Black Pine Ridge, the Demon King of Chaos, the Black Evil King, and the Nether Scale King all died.

The remaining Wu Man King and Tie Gu King were both seriously injured, so how could they be a match for the five elders of the Beast Taming Sect? Although Wu Man King and Tie Gu King put aside their prejudices and joined hands to fight hard, they were still defeated and were about to collapse.

At this time, the disciples of the Beast Taming Sect were slaughtering the monsters on Black Pine Ridge.

Wu Yun Zhenren's cold eyes swept across the battlefield, searching for traces of the Soul-Snatching Orb, and finally fell on Xiao Chen. He first showed joy, then laughed loudly:
"Hahaha, Master Brother, fellow disciples, don't let King Wuman and King Tiegu escape, or else there will be trouble."

"I'm going to catch that toad monster!"

Seeing Master Wuyun's gaze sweeping over, Xiao Chen simply swallowed the Soul-Snatching Pearl in one gulp and ordered urgently, "Scan and copy, fuse the left eye!"

"Monster, today, I, Wuyun Zhenren, will capture you to avenge my Junior Brother Xuankong!"

Master Wuyun made a sword gesture, and a green sword light came straight towards Xiao Chen.

Xiao Chen's face turned cold. This Master Wuyun had already reached the late stage of Qi Refining and Spirit Transformation, which was equivalent to a seven hundred year old demon. Naturally, his cultivation was several times stronger than that of Master Xuankong.

But now, Xiao Chen is no longer the little toad that was at the mercy of others!

Xiao Chen dropped the Sky-Blasting Hammer, but this hammer was no longer powerful enough in a battle of this level.

Xiao Chen glanced at the weapons scattered all over the battlefield, and spit out his 15-meter-long tongue like an iron whip. In an instant, he picked up the weapon dropped by King Youlin not far away, a blood-red halberd.

Xiao Chen retracted his tongue, and the blood-red halberd was already firmly in Xiao Chen's hand.

"Host, you have touched an E-level attack type magic weapon, the Blood Blade Halberd. This halberd is made from the fangs of the Phantom Scale King. It is extremely sharp and contains a deadly poison that can kill with one drop of blood!"

"Scan and copy?"

"Copy! Merge the golden horn on the head!"

Xiao Chen waved the blood-bladed halberd to block the green sword light. Then, he exerted force with his legs, leaped fifty feet, and slashed straight at True Man Wuyun with the halberd.

True Man Wuyun dodged to the side, pulled out an ink-black iron sword from behind and stabbed at Xiao Chen's neck.

Xiao Chen blocked with his halberd, and the two men came into close combat.

Xiao Chen suddenly spewed out a poisonous mist from his mouth, heading straight towards Master Wuyun's face.

However, Master Wuyun was experienced in combat and had been prepared. A green light shield appeared on his body, covering his entire body and keeping all the poisonous fog out.

"Humph, you evildoer! I am not my Junior Brother Xuankong, who was obsessed with alchemy and not good at martial arts. That is why he fell into the trap of you poisonous creatures."

Master Wuyun snorted coldly.

The two fought for more than ten rounds.

When Master Wuyun saw that he couldn't defeat Xiao Chen, his face fell and he became a little impatient. Master Wuyun placed the black iron sword in front of him, flicked the sword with his left hand, and the majestic spiritual energy gushed out of his body.

The inky iron sword suddenly enlarged, even emitting a faint light, containing infinite power.

Master Wuyun held the sword in both hands and swung it with all his might. The inky iron sword transformed into an extremely sharp three-meter-long sword light as he moved, slashing straight towards Xiao Chen's head.

At this time, Master Wuyun obviously used his strongest killing move, wanting to kill Xiao Chen!

Wuyun Zhenren shouted angrily:
"Demon, prepare to die now!"

As he roared, the three-meter sword light became brighter and looked extremely powerful!
At this moment, a few lines of golden characters flashed through Xiao Chen's mind:
The soul-capturing bead has been copied and fused with the left eye, and at the same time, the Taoism level has increased by three hundred years!
The Blood Blade Halberd has been copied and fused with the Golden Horn, and at the same time, the Taoism has been increased by thirty years!
"is it?"

Xiao Chen sneered, grasped the blood-bladed halberd, swung it out, and actually directly shattered the three-meter sword light.

At the same time, Xiao Chen suddenly smiled strangely and happily, threw a coquettish glance at Master Wuyun, and a red light flashed in his eyes.

Disgusting monster!
Seeing the toad monster winking at him, Master Wuyun felt his stomach rising and a chill in his heart. Then he fell into dizziness and confusion for a moment, and felt that his soul was about to be hooked away by the monster's eyes.

When Master Wuyun's head flew up in the sky, he finally regained some clarity:
"Soul-stealing bead, how is that possible! I clearly didn't see that monster use the soul-stealing bead!"

Afterwards, Master Wuyun fell into darkness forever and lost consciousness.

After Xiao Chen chopped off Master Wuyun's head with his halberd, he looked at the situation on the battlefield.

King Wuman and King Tiegu were already in a very miserable state. They were surrounded and attacked by the four old men and had no power to fight back.

There were no little monsters left in Heisongling and Shuizang Cave, and they were being chased by the disciples of the Beast Taming Sect and were fleeing everywhere.

Some disciples of the Beast Taming Sect even cut off the monsters' wings on the spot and took them back to refine magical weapons.

"Today, I will put an end to the troubles of the Beast Taming Sect once and for all!"

Xiao Chen, who had copied the Soul-Capture Orb and many scattered weapons on the battlefield, had already practiced Taoism for a thousand years. He directly revealed his true form and fought with his true form.

At this time, Xiao Chen's body had grown to ten feet in size, like a golden hill, full of oppression. His body was covered with large and small, uneven golden warts, like one hill after another. His teeth were like giant swords, emitting a faint cold light.

However, the overly concentrated poison could not be suppressed and seeped out, enveloping Xiao Chen and forming a strange poisonous fog.

At this moment, Xiao Chen was shrouded in this strange and deadly black poisonous fog, with only a pair of blood-red eyes showing, emitting an evil light, like a beast peering at its prey in the abyss.

On the Black Pine Ridge, a ball of black poisonous fog with a diameter of more than 20 feet was seen leaping rapidly and approaching the Beast Taming Sect disciples who were everywhere.

The moment the Beast Taming Sect disciple touched the poisonous mist, he screamed, blood flowed from all his seven orifices, and finally turned into a pool of pus.

In the black poisonous fog, a huge iron whip about twenty feet long kept extending out, like a toad eating a flying insect, and rolled up the disciples of the Beast Taming Sect and entered the black fog. These disciples of the Beast Taming Sect did not even have time to scream before they lost their voices.

This strange scene on the battlefield made all the disciples of the Beast Taming Sect tremble with fear. They gave up chasing the little demon and fled away in panic.

The four elders of the Beast Taming Sect who were currently besieging King Wuman and King Tiegu naturally noticed this scene, and they looked at each other in shock and confusion.

"When did such a powerful monster appear in Kanyuan Mountain?"

"Could it be the ancestor of the Toad Demon?"

"You beat the younger one, and here comes the older one?"
